Traditionally, Unix and Mac OS differ in theformat in which they store text files. Mac OS places a carriagereturn character at the end of each line of a text file, but Unix usesa line feed character. Some Unix applications won't recognize thecarriage returns added by Mac OS, and will display a file as a singleline, interspersed with Ctrl-m characters. This appearson the screen as ^M. Similarly, some Mac OS applicationsneed to see carriage return characters at the ends of lines, and maytreat Unix-format files as one long line.

Conversion of exe files to mp4 file format. EXE files are typically just program executables and not actually videos, so in most cases exe to mp4 conversion does not work. Flash videos are occasionally compiled as.exe files and this might be actually the only type that could be converted to MP4 format. The file you linked can be opened, for proper display, in LibreOffice, which by the way is free. I was also able to convert this file via the command line to a plain text document using LibreOffice's executable soffice using the following syntax.

It's possible to safely open and run EXE files on your Mac using mediums like Boot Camp, Remote Desktop, CrossOver, Virtual Machine, and WINE, to mention the most prominent ones.

In Mac OS X, the situation is more complicated. BecauseMac OS X is a meld of Unix and the older Mac OS, in some cases textfiles have carriage returns and in others they have line feeds. Forthe most part, classic applications still require text files to havecarriage returns, while the command-line Unix utilities require linefeeds. Mac OS X-native applications are usually capable ofinterpreting both.

There are many ways to resolve the differences in format. In thisdocument you will find instructions on how to use the Unix commandline utilities tr, awk, and Perl todo the conversion. From Mac OS X, each can be accessed from theTerminal application.

tr

The Unix program tr is used to translatebetween two sets of characters. Characters specified in one set areconverted to the matching character in the second set. Thus, toconvert the Ctrl-m of a Mac OS text file to the line feed(Ctrl-j) of a Unix text file, at the Unix command line,enter:

Here, r and n are special escapesequences that tr interprets as Ctrl-m (acarriage return) and Ctrl-j (a line feed), respectively.Thus, to convert a Unix text file to a Mac OS text file, enter:

Note: The escape sequences must be surrounded bysingle quotation marks for these commands to work.

awk

To use awk to convert a Mac OS file to Unix, at theUnix prompt, enter:

To convert a Unix file to Mac OS using awk, at thecommand line, enter:

On some systems, the version of awk may be old and notinclude the function gsub. If so, try the same command,but replace awk with gawk ornawk.

To convert from a Unix text file to a Mac OS text file with Perl,at the Unix shell prompt, enter:
